It can be a bit tricky to find the main route up. Once you clear the river, fr102 leads 95% of the way before a small but impassible snow field. Once you've reached the end of the road you'll want to head for rocks surrounded by a snow field on each side as opposed to the class 3 scrambling available on the left. After you get out of the ampitheater, its snow free. We wanted to glissade from the saddle, but the snow was not solid and the drop looks 'extreme'. it didn't seem safe. Once back in the ampitheater the snow was much better. we dropped ~1000 feet in 10 minutes with the butt slide! in excellent condisionts.
